Chapter 32: A City of Chaos (3)

Emergency Department of New York City Center Hospital.

It was busier than usual, with loud footsteps, noises, moans of pain, the grunt of the wheels of the hospital bed on the floor...

These voices kept burrowing into Li Mo's head, making him even more irritable.

"Hey, Lee, are you alright? Don't worry, it's Christine who performs the surgery inside. Dr. Palmer, I think your friend will be fine. Well sorry, I had to leave beforehand. ā€

Grey, a tired intern doctor, came over and said a word of comfort, when she was called away by a message from the dispatch room.

Saddened? No, it shouldn't be sad.

Turk. Barrett is just an underworld gangster in the end, and even if he later became Li Mo's subordinate, he didn't have much affection.

It's a lot of places, so it's an acquaintance.

But why do you feel irritable?

Li Mo recalled his experience after coming into this world, and the people he came into contact with, Lucas Jr., Tony, Eugene, Barrett, Jessica...

They are not NPCs with only a single face, they have their own lives, joys and sorrows.

Although I always want to stay out of the situation, I have been affected unconsciously, and the entanglement is getting deeper and deeper.

I used to think about not destroying the plot and making a lot of money, but now it's ridiculous to think about it, and I don't know how much it has changed before I know it.

Originally

I have become the world,

Be part of destiny.

…

Barrett's surgery went well, and although he was still in a coma, doctors said everything was fine.

Li Mo saw that it was okay and went home. Outside the hospital, he saw an acquaintance holding a bouquet of roses to greet Dr. Christine, who was operating on Barrett.

Stephen. Strange.

Is this his chick?

What a coincidence.

However, Li Mo is used to all kinds of coincidences, and it seems that there is a hand that has just been injured from cooking that is controlling his fate.

The next day, Li Mo brought anxious little Lucas and George to the hospital to visit Turk. Barrett.

When did the relationship between his three subordinates become so good? Is this the generation gap between bosses and subordinates?

In the hospital, despite the constant comfort of Lucas Jr. and George, Turk Barrett still looked in a trance and had a sad expression.

Li Mo also made a joke: "Don't you just cut off your hand, it's not a big deal." And to tell you a secret, severing your hand in this world could make a major difference in your fate. ā€

Under the gag of the trio, Turk. Barrett finally came back to his senses and said weakly, "Boss, guys, thank you. I'm not sad because of a broken hand, a very important person left me. ā€

"Boss, I want to be discharged. I'm going to get my daddy's funeral. ā€

…………

The NYPD's so-called first strike hard campaign was soon underway.

The police, who had long been enraged by the recent series of vicious incidents, completely let go of their hands and feet, and with the support of Chief George, they rushed into the area they did not want to be involved before.

Queens.

Outside an abandoned factory.

A middle-aged white policeman wearing body armor and full of silver hair pulled out a pistol and said to his heavily armed subordinates behind him: "Guys, inside is the KK Gang's drug factory, everyone pay attention to safety." ā€

The police quietly overturned the guards and entered the factory. Many people in yellow hazmat suits are sitting in front of the chemical table to operate, and several white men with tattoos are patrolling with guns.

"Don't move! We are the NYPD (New York City Police Department), all lay down their weapons! ā€

Bang!

A gangster nervously pulled the trigger.

"Damn! Lawrence gets shot, fight back! ā€

A fierce shootout broke out in the factory, and chaos became a pot of porridge.

…

Brooklyn.

A motel.

One of the leaders of the Armenian gang was hiding in a room, pacing back and forth irritably.

He has always been careful not to touch the bottom line of the police, but he didn't expect to be affected, which is really a disaster from heaven.

ā€œf**k! The Vipers gang of with brains in the water, escaped this robbery, Lao Tzu will kill you! ā€

Suddenly, there was a noise outside the door, and he nervously picked up an automatic rifle.

"Crash Hammer!"

"Let's die together!" The leader frantically opened fire through the door.

…

Harlem.

A young black man in a hip-hop suit and a black line hat was gagged by several police officers and his face was pressed against the wall.

"Bastard! Tell me, where is your boss Cornell hiding? ā€

"I don't know, I'm not one of the Vipers bastards." The young black man's face was full of anger.

"Nonsense! I saw you selling white powder, and you thought I didn't know that all the drugs in this area were all Cornell's men. ā€

ā€œf**k! That's medicine, Yunnan Baiyao from China, you idiots. ā€

With a bang, the young black man was hit with the butt of a pistol and his head was covered in blood.

"Handcuff him back, and you can be convicted of smuggling drugs."

……

New York City's first strike hard campaign was in full swing, and all gangs and individuals in the city who had recently committed criminal activities were dealt a blow. Organizations related to the bombings have been given special attention.

The police station was busy, arresting people, checking clues, recording confessions, and there was no idler. The number of criminals who have been arrested is even more numerous, and the police station is overcrowded for a while.

Seeing that the results of the strike-hard campaign were getting bigger and bigger, Director George Stacy was overjoyed. But just as he was about to hold a press conference to announce the news, things took a turn for the worse.

First of all, because of the hasty deployment of the operation, there are many types of criminals who have been caught. There are both real gangsters and drug lords, as well as a lot of petty thieves.

The New York City Police Department has no power to convict, and petty thieves have been sentenced to more than 10 days in prison, while others have only been fined for community work. And when convicting the real gang leaders and drug lords, they usually have to deal with a huge team of lawyers. The district prosecutor was tired like a dog, and even the judge complained a lot.

Then, the continuous high pressure finally caused a revolt in the underground society. Some people quietly beat the black guns of the police, and some people are even more crazy about committing crimes.

The number of killed and disabled officers in the New York City Police Department has been on the rise in recent times. Stacy was assassinated twice.

The proud cops are agitated, their methods are more intense, and the revenge of the gangs is more bloody. Shootouts often erupt in the streets.

If the bombings have terrified the citizens of New York, the current downturn in law and order has made them completely angry.

Finally, when a child was going to school, he was killed by a stray bullet that broke out in a shootout on the street. The high-pressure boiler in New York City exploded.

Countless citizens began to take to the streets to demonstrate against the government's incompetence. Many legislators have begun to raise their voices, some suggesting that the crackdown should be further intensified, while more are taking the opportunity to attack their opponents and grab political capital.

The media has also been divided into several factions, from quarrels to unscrupulous denigrations, and the whole society is in chaos.

Seeing the current situation, some gang members who do not know the truth naively believe that they have the power to subvert society, and thus act even more recklessly, triggering and aggravating social contradictions.

The opposition grew stronger and stronger, and the government had to order George. Stacy stopped this action.

At this point, the vigorous New York first strike hard operation came to an abrupt end, leaving behind an even more turbulent society.

……

Li Mo has been paying attention to the progress of the situation, and at first he thought that there was a drama, but later he became more and more disapproving.

It seems that the democratic dictatorship cannot be played by you, the US imperialists, at all.

Matt. Murdoch was going crazy during this time, and the number of cases as a lawyer during the day increased dramatically. At night, as Daredevil, he has to discount the gangsters who rely on lawyers to exploit legal loopholes to escape punishment. It is also necessary to investigate the real culprit behind this series of events.

He felt more and more that Li Mo's clue was right, and that there was a huge shadow hanging over New York.

However, he searched for everyone, and I don't know how many well-informed gangsters he tortured, and none of them knew about this man nicknamed Golden Biscuit.

It's so hidden!

Matt, who had no choice but to go to Li Mo to discuss countermeasures.

Li Mo has been staying in the store during this time, and after Lucas Jr. and George accompanied Barrett to the funeral, they took turns going to the hospital to take care of Barrett, who had only one hand.

It's not that Li Mo likes the business in the store, it's mainly that people outside are panicking and it's really boring.

Matt chose to come over during the day this time, wearing a suit, sunglasses, and a cane. Li Mo was lying in a rocking chair in the store watching the news.

Seeing Matt, Li Mo quipped: "Pretending to be like that." ā€

Matt smiled, put away the blind cane in a chic manner, and stepped into the store with steady steps, "When hiding has become a habit, it is difficult for you to change anything. ā€

"I've always been curious about one thing, what is the world really like in your perception?" Li Mo took a sip of tea and asked.

"I can't really describe it, I can clearly hear the sound waves hitting the human body and spreading out, everything seems to be burning, and it is very clear. I can even feel the rhythm of the muscles in your face, and the tea you drink slides through your swallowing muscles. It was hard to accept at first, but now I'm used to it. ā€

Matt sat down and continued a little helplessly: "Don't talk about this, through this period of investigation, I can feel that someone is controlling everything, but I can't find the golden cookie you said." ā€

Li Mo scratched his head, "It should be called this." ā€

"Where did you get the news?"

"A Chinese guy named Netflix."

Matt pondered for a while, and suddenly asked, "What should I call it in Chinese?" ā€

"The Chinese pinyin is called jin bing."

Matt lowered his head and muttered for a while, "Maybe we're mistaken, it's a transliteration, it should be called KING PIN, which means head." But who is this person? ā€

Li Mo shook his head, and suddenly looked at the TV with wide eyes, "It's this dead fat pig!" ā€

On TV, WHH TV was broadcasting the news: at the invitation of Congressman Cherry, well-known businessman Wilson Murphy was invited to do so. Wesker announced that it will hold a charity dinner tonight to help citizens and police who have been harmed in a series of recent incidents...
